Aries new moon reflection: 'Through intentional action, I continually renew myself while staying connected to my true essence.’
On March 29th, 2025, a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries ushers in a new chapter, inviting us to set bold intentions and embrace daring adventures. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is known for its assertive and pioneering nature, urging us to break free from stagnation and pursue what excites our hearts. As a fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action, Aries encourages us to confront challenges with courage and determination. The Solar Eclipse amplifies this energy, offering us the perfect moment to recalibrate our lives and align with our true passions.
Rituals for Harnessing the Aries Season
These rituals are designed to help you connect with the powerful energy of the Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse.
Astrological New Year Intentions:
Welcome the fresh energy of Aries season by setting powerful intentions. Light a red or black candle and reflect on what you wish to manifest this year. Write your intentions on small pieces of paper, then safely burn them in a fireproof container. Once the flames have consumed them, return the ashes to the earth as a symbol of transformation and new beginnings.
2. Activating the Fire:
Aries season is infused with the radiant energy of the Sun. Take time each day to step outside and soak in its warmth (safely). Spend at least 30 minutes outdoors, allowing the sunlight to energize your spirit. Move your body if you feel called—walk, stretch, or simply stand in the light, feeling its vitality flow through you.
3. Candlelight Reflections:
Mars, the ruling planet of Aries, has ties to Tuesdays, making it an ideal day for reflection and action. Each Tuesday evening, light your favorite candle and spend time journaling about your weekly inspirations, goals, or insights. Let the flame symbolize your inner drive, igniting passion and clarity as you move through the season.
4. Mirror of Self-Love:
With Venus in retrograde for much of the season, it’s an important time to cultivate self-love. Stand before a mirror and recognize something beautiful about yourself—your eyes, your expression, your presence. Light a candle and write down affirmations, compliments, or words of encouragement for yourself. Place these notes on your mirror as a daily reminder of your self-worth and inner radiance.
